Oh wow, this is a very good idea for a thread - other writing forums should do this!

As far as "expertise", I would say I know a healthy amount about ::

• Exercise
• Moving
• Buddhism
• Tattoos
• All-natural/environmentally friendly cleaning
• Eco-friendly fashion
• Organic foods
• Internet research

Areas I have a great deal with...

Cooking in the Navy
Working in a Call center
Bluetooth
Cellular Phones
Working on a train as an On Board Service Crew Member (waiter Lead Service Attendant, and what is commonly known as a Steward or Porter but is officially called a Train Attendant.)
(Not an expert, but I have access to one...) Celtic History (HUGE amounts of data available here, i have books and access to an actual Celtic Historian!)

That should just about do it. If it is story related, not a problem... But I hate to say it, if you ask me how to troubleshoot your cell phone, I am going to simply SCREAM and then hit the block button. Thanks.

Areas of (somewhat) expertise:

*Military Protocol (8 year AF veteran)

*Dentistry (Asssistant in said military)

*Computer Technologies (self-taught computer builder)

*Spelling (I kan spel sum tymes - it's more of hobby, misspelled words are a pet peeve)

*Horror Movies (Trivia, etc.)

*Seashell Collection (one of the hazards of living near the beach - I can name that shell for $500 Bing)

*Marriage (9 year veteran - I have the scars to prove it)

*Lying (I'm a male, it comes with the territory)

–Grammar (mostly english but also foreign)

–Spanish language / literature / culture / geography (and by Spanish I mean SPAIN)

–anything and everything having to do with Ancient Greece

–useless & completely random trivia (example: Which country has by far the most deaths by drowning in bathtubs each year? answer: Japan)

–ancient Mayans / Incans / Aztecs / Egyptians, concentrating on ancient mythology & astronomy

–anything involving snow (snowshoeing, -machining, -shoveling, skiing, et cetera... comes from living in Alaska)

Well, I'm not exactly a world brain but I have some knowledge of:

• Geology
• Astrophysics (both areas likely to become more detailed. I'm studying for a degree in the subjects!)
• Historical re-enactment - medieval and dark ages
• Basic flying (especially motored gliders)
• the Duke of Edinburgh's award

Probably a few other things but my mind is made up solely of cotton wool today and isn't being very helpful

Lots of trivia, mostly useless but sometimes useful
